 | Coming to Birth by Marjorie Macgoye
Written in 1986, this reissued novel set in Nairobi is about a woman named Paulina, who arrives in Kenya in 1956, newly-married, pregnant, and the victim of an abusive husband who is just as disoriented as she is. After a series of miscarriages, she leaves, works in the country as a teacher, but eventually returns after a family tragedy. In many ways, Paulina`s dramatic, stressful life parallels the fortunes of Kenya during the latter half of the 20th century. AUTHOR: Marjorie Macgoye

 | The Old Curiosity Shop by Charles Dickens, David Case, Elizabeth M. Brennan, Paul Schlicke
Dickens's novel--in its day, one of his most beloved--follows the career of the depraved dwarf Quilp, and introduces poor, innocent Little Nell, who is too good for this world. When Little Nell and her grandfather are forced to flee Quilp's evil clutches, various upright characters try to intervene and save them, but the frail and debilitated Nell dies as the result of her troubles, and her aged grandfather soon follows. The lushly sentimental and prolonged death of Little Nell sent an entire nation into mourning when the novel appeared in serial form. AUTHOR: Charles Dickens, David Case, Elizabeth M. Brennan, Paul Schlicke
